Digpal Lanjekar who had successfully directed earlier Marathi films like ‘Farzand’, ‘Fatteshikast’ and very recently released his film ‘Pawankhind, is now getting ready to release his next film ‘Sher Shivraj’.  Through this film Digpal has focussed on how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj killed Afzal Khan at Pratapgad fort.

 It may be recalled that the Slaughtering of Afzal Khan is an important chapter in the history of Shivaji Maharaj’s period. We can say that then ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ was established in the true sense.  Now, the Marathi film lovers are getting ready to witness the historic golden chapter on the silver screen on 22nd April all over.

A glimpse of this historic moment can be seen on the recently released poster and Teaser of the film ‘Sher Shivraj’.  The saffron flag of ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ proudly fluttering on Pratapgad, the blood soaked hand of the Maharaj, the tiger nails which pulled out the bowels of Afzal Khan and the dazzling sun, which is a silent witness of all the happenings from that time till today.

‘Sher Shivraj’ is produced by Nittin Keni of Mumbai Movie Studios, Pradyot Pendharkar and Anil Narayanrao Varkhade of Raajwarasa Productions along with Digpal Lanjekar, Chinmay Mandlekar of Mulakshar Production.
